> For those who doubt that an intramural hematoma is alike aortic dissection
> I want to show the images of the last case (78
> y/o) I operated on with a modified Bentall.
> 27° , axillary artery and left carotid perfusion trough exposed arch.
> There was no trace of dissection at angio but a
> very thickened aortic wall at CT scan.
> I show the appearance at pericardiectomy,
> identical to that of a dissection and the clots
> sandwich between media and adventitia.
